The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the halogenation, sulphonation, and Friedel-Craft's reaction of haloarenes, we need to identify the type of reaction these processes represent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reactions**: - Halogenation involves the introduction of halogen atoms (like Cl, Br) into the aromatic ring. - Sulphonation involves the introduction of a sulfonyl group (SO3H) into the aromatic ring. - Friedel-Craft's reactions (alkylation and acylation) involve the introduction of alkyl or acyl groups into the aromatic ring. 2. **Identifying the Nature of the Aromatic Ring**: - The aromatic ring (like benzene or haloarenes) is electron-rich due to the delocalized π-electrons. This makes it susceptible to electrophilic attack. 3. **Recognizing the Type of Reaction**: - All these reactions (halogenation, sulphonation, and Friedel-Craft's reactions) involve the substitution of hydrogen atoms on the aromatic ring by electrophiles. - In these reactions, the electrophile attacks the electron-rich aromatic system, leading to the substitution of hydrogen atoms. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since all these reactions involve the substitution of an electrophile for a hydrogen atom on the aromatic ring, they are classified as **Electrophilic Substitution Reactions**. ### Final Answer: The halogenation, sulphonation, and Friedel-Craft's reactions of haloarenes are examples of **Electrophilic Substitution Reactions**.
